Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used


I own simaudio pre and power amp and will attempt to run it in balanced mode. I would like to get a phono stage/amp that has balanced topology and balanced outs. Now I am using ear 834p, vpi tnt, sumiko bluepoint.I want something that will bring world class sound.

That's a hard question to answer. What are the sonic issues on which you will not compromise?

The Aesthetix Rhea is a good phono stage, but compared to the best, it's going to be noisy. Are tubes a big issue to you?

The best I have heard in my system is the Pass Labs XOno. It is also the quietest.
